Customer Reviews
Grammy winner for El Rey
There are some great Latin-ized versions of standards here, like "Lush Life", "Lullaby of Birdland", "Take Five", and "Pick Yourself Up". Tito Puente won a Grammy for this effort, which was recorded in 1985. But I still say his stuff from the 1950's and 60's is better (which had much more emphasis on Mambo, Cha-Cha, and dance music in general). The best cut is definitely "Lullaby of Birdland", which features some wonderful piano playing by George Shearing.
Tito is hot in this one
This is great Latin Jazz.Great arrangements in all of them specially in "Lush Life" and "Take Five".This one of Tito Puente best recording doing Latin Jazz
Classic Puente
This is classic stuff. Great arrangements of "Lullaby of Birdland," and "Take 5." I don't think you'll find these jazz standards played the same way anywhere else.
Tito displays his versatility on the timbales as well as the vibraphone. The album is well-rounded and well-suited for jazz fans as well as latin fans. You won't be disappointed.
